Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes head-to-head record
The Florida Panthers have definitely had the advantage over the Carolina Hurricanes in their previous five head-to-head meetings, winning four of them and outscoring them 23-8 during that time. The Panthers have most memorably shut out the Hurricanes twice, including in Game 2 of this series on May 23, 2025, when they won 5-0. Carolina's only victory came on January 3rd, when they defeated Florida 3-1, but they haven't been able to produce a steady offensive effort against Florida's formidable defense and excellent goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky. With this previous history, Florida has a psychological advantage and a lot of momentum going into Game 3, while the Hurricanes will need to make a significant turnaround, particularly in special teams and scoring efficiency, to win the series.
